Anyway, submitting a sequence with  keywords "easy,more" but less than
one line of data is inconsistent and a way of saying that even the
author is not really interested in the sequence, but other people
should do what he considers as a waste of (his) time.

(IMO the present example shows again that a sequence based on words of
a natural language is inherently ill defined, EVEN IF you specify
exactly the language, the place and the date where it is used.)
